Great hostel with chilled out vibes

Stayed for 3 great nights - highlight has to be the great bar staff who played any music you wanted (oasis) and made excellent drinks.Rooms were very nice as well as restaurant.Reception very helpful and organized tours and trips no bother except for a kayaking trip where they said we couldn’t go with out giving a reason.Laundry service very good as well.Breakfast an extra cost of 11.000 is a bit much as most other hostels had this included. Great stay would recommend.

Stayed here a total of 3 nights between our trek to the Lost City. It's hot so book an air conditioned room. The pool is so lovely, the bar has a happy hour between 6-9pm where you can get 2 for 1 cocktails and the beer is well priced. There are a few bars and restaurants nearby but honestly everything you need is at the Dreamer - breakfast $11,000 pesos and free coffee all day. The restaurant for lunch/dinner is top notch, excellent food. Local huge supermarket is a 5 minute walk.

It's not located in Santa Marta central, a taxi to centre should cost about $7,000COP but ideal for a Base yo explore the area.

They kept our bags while we trekked for free.

Hannah, we're happy you enjoyed your stay here in Santa Marta! We love being a base-camp for travelers on the Lost City Trek. Some say it's better than Machu Pichu.. we clearly have our opinions :-)

Unless you really want to go out in Santa Marta without having to take the taxi, this place is for you. Really good vibe and like the best staff of hostel ever. The pool is nice and the facilities are good but what steal the show: THE FOOD.

This place is owned by Italian and the pastas/pizzas are incredible. More expensive from what you can get closer to the hostel but the price is really decent VS the quality food. Didn't remember when was the last time I had good pastas like this!

Room Tip: Choose one with AC

I stayed for a night at The Dreamer and it was fun. Having been travelling through Colombia I have to say that this is the only party hostel I've stayed at. It is a bit far from the centre of Santa Marta, but if you're going to Tayrona or the Northeast coast it will save you time in the city's traffic. The rooms are country/football themed and the dorm I stayed at had everything needed. The hostel has a chef preparing food, a pool and activities - there was Karaoke the night I stayed. They also organize trips to Tayrona and a pub crawl. It was a bit pricey for Colombia, but I guess the target audience aren't Colombians... I did, however, enjoy the pool!
